[QUOTE="AguaFriaRanger, post: 3622474, member: 48527"] Agreed on that front. I think that there is some actual scarcity-based price fluctuation occurring in the combloc market. I think it is exasperated by PSA and KUSA bringing the combloc market back into view a bit with their firearms - it is less arcane/mysterious to get into when you can buy one made in America. Add to this the big panic about Biden issuing another Obama style import ban and you have a ramped up combloc market. It is a real shame that I missed the heyday of combloc surplus by just a few years and now that I have the means and ability to really start collecting the market is on fire. I can't bring myself to pay $500 for a basic garbage rod Mosin or $650+ for a chicom SKS. At those prices I might as well shell out another couple hundred bucks and either get a rarer example of the rifle or just something new. You can't even recommend an SKS/Mosin and a spam can of ammo to the newbies anymore, there are better new-production bolt actions in the $300-400 range and you can have a budget AR for $650-700.
